[00:-4.00] Blue October - The Money Tree
[00:-3.00]
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00] I'm standin' on a open world,
[00:04.10] I've gotta try so hard for myself
[00:07.58] Not including the ones that I love,
[00:10.90] I call my family.
[00:13.11]
[00:15.25] It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl;
[00:20.63] A brand new baby - she's a baby girl.
[00:24.59] And, yes, she is a cutie like her mommy.
[00:28.14] Uhh yes, yeah, she looks like her mommy.
[00:31.33]
[00:31.93] We both know who we are,
[00:34.76] And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
[00:39.58] If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
[00:43.89] I think we're heading for the crazy-making heartbreak.
[00:47.99]
[00:49.53] I'm wondering "Why I'm sitting here alone again.
[00:53.78] Why you always crush me. "
[00:58.06] Why it's never easy.
[01:00.34] Easy, easy, easy - it's not easy.
[01:03.20]
[01:03.80] This is you, this is me.
[01:05.60] You won't be a part of what we need to be.
[01:08.56] Not for me - For the future of us three;
[01:11.52] For our daughter, college, family -
[01:14.09] - sudden health emergencies.
[01:16.26] You think it's easy picking money off my money tree!?
[01:19.88]
[01:20.50] With two houses, both cars,
[01:22.71] I paid off your fucking credit card debt,
[01:25.58] Did you already forget? Huh?
[01:28.86] You threaten, threaten, threaten,
[01:30.62] Threaten, threaten, Huh!?
[01:32.32] Just fuckin' leave, find a man who will put up with this shit.
[01:35.70]
[01:36.20] We both know who we are,
[01:38.84] And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
[01:43.70] If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
[01:47.73] Yeah, I think we're heading for the crazy-making heartbreak.
[01:51.72]
[01:52.38] I can't help but think of how good you are
[01:56.38] with our baby daughter, half the time a single mother
[01:59.93] "when I'm gone away, I so wish you could always stay home
[02:04.25] and watch our baby grow, bring her up the right way"
[02:08.19]
[02:09.48] You never take it that way.
[02:11.51]
[02:15.66] We both know who we are,
[02:19.43] And I'm not changing...
[02:21.58]
[02:24.21] Ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohhh
[02:39.00]
[02:40.39] I need support - not a slap in the face.
[02:43.33] You have to trust me or, I'm sure, this will blow up in your face.
[02:47.60] I'm in love with such an angel! she doesn't even know.
[02:51.64] We've torn each other down and why we don't even know
[02:55.42]
[02:55.91] We both know who we are,
[02:58.80] And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
[03:03.68] If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take (I'm not a job to take)
[03:07.75] Yeah, I think we're heading for the crazy-making heartbreak.
[03:12.00] Ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohhh
[03:26.48]
[03:28.47] I can't help but think of how good you are
[03:32.35] with our baby daughter, half the time a single mother,
[03:35.96] "when I'm gone away, I so wish you could always stay home
[03:40.40] and watch our baby grow, bring her up the right way"
[03:44.14]
[03:59.46] It's me the one who has his family's future at heart
[04:03.59] It's you the one who never wants a family apart
[04:07.84] We both know that together we can only believe
[04:11.57] That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave
[04:15.49]
